Dr. Carey’s research seeks understanding the signals that drive proliferation, growth and survival in lymphoma as well as other cancers. His team has been focused on cytokine and B cell receptor signals that relay life or death information in lymphoma. More recently, the group has discovered that aggressive B cell lymphoma re-purpose certain reactive oxygen species (ROS) and use these ROS for their survival benefits. Moreover, the lymphoma appear to modulate these ROS-dependent survival programs via a specific antioxidant pathway. Our focus is on identifying the molecular players in these processes. Recognizing a need for diversification of the biomedical research workforce, Dr. Carey is very active in direct mentoring and in building programs that enhance achievement and diverse participation and in the sciences and in medicine. He has served, and serves on national committees and networks dedicated to fostering and nurturing excitement in science, medicine and research. Dr. Carey’s outreach activities serve to collaboratively bridge the Community and the School of Medicine. This includes research, service and service-learning projects as well as mentoring, interacting and giving talks to students and members of the Community on STEM careers and on the role of research in improving and protecting Community Health.
